A shakeout through Chinatown and its stretch of the marathon course, with a 1.2-mile walk along the route or a three-mile run at paces from 10:30 to 13:30 per mile. Doors open at 9:30 AM and the group sets off at 9:45 AM, with Julie Justinson of sweaty ponytales among the special guests. Back at the library, branch manager Stuart Griner gives a short talk on the branch's history, alongside running and Chicago books, library card sign-ups and complimentary Propel and Chargel products. Family Style RC founder Sany Nguyen then leads an optional group trip to the marathon expo.
